Unable to properly save Impress template

Hi all,

I am trying to build my own Impress template but having problem saving it. The way I did it was

  1. Open a new Impress file
  2. Go into master slide from View>Slide Master
  3. From there, adjust slide size from Slide>Page/Slide Properties
  4. Adjust style by clicking on title and content boxes and adjusting their alignments, sizes, fonts, and bullet style
  5. Save the template from File>Templates>Save As Template and set it to default

But when I opened a new Impress file, only the slide size and “some” of the fonts and styles were used. If I did it again, some other styles might be updated, but at the same time some already used styles could be erased to some other random setting. This is especially troublesome for hierarchical bulletting/numbering; it never follows what I set. I have been trying for >1 day but haven’t found a pattern. Please help! Thank you!
